The passengers in Carlos “Shawty Lo” Walker’s car begged him to slow down before the deadly Sept. 21 crash that killed him, a Fulton County Medical Examiner’s report said. The two women, identified as Deshondria and Destini, told investigators “they were pleading with (Walker) to slow down but he would not.”

“The two females stated that the Decedent exited on the Cascade Road exit ramp and somehow went behind the guardrail onto the grass and then down the embankment,” the report reads. “The Decedent lost control of the vehicle as the car hit the grass and began to fishtail before flipping over, crashing and catching fire. It appears that some of the vehicle’s content burned in the fire and some of the content came out of the vehicle and is spread about the general area.”

Walker, 40 was pronounced dead at the scene. The Medical Examiner’s report says he was not wearing a seatbelt in his 2016 Audi.

He is survived by 11 children. The passengers in the car when he crashed and died were not seriously injured.

The report lists “blunt force injuries of the head” as the cause of Walker’s death. Toxicology results are pending but the Medical Examiner’s report indicated that Walker’s body smelled of alcohol. A prescription bottle containing the medications acetaminophen/hydrocodone and acetaminophen/oxycodone, commonly marketed as Vicodin and Percocet, was found on Walker’s person, the report said.

It also noted that Walker’s passengers took money from his pockets, with permission:

“It is reported that the Decedent had a large sum of money on him and the police officers on the scene allowed the two females to take the money off the Decedent. Additionally, various small denominations of U. S. Currency such as $5 and $1 bills are spread about the general area. Fulton County Crime Scene technician relates that she will document and collect the remaining money.”

It said with permission of a cop..they had minor issues I'm sure they buckled up and I'm sure when they asked the police he said yea or maybe the police offered and the women told the story or the police could've 🤔

They did not Rob him. He had only $16.05 in his pocket. I would begged him also. Plus he had been drinking and had pain killer in his system. I would not have got in the car with him I know they are thankful to still be alive.

So many biased White Supremacist on here..... We know racism exist but how can some of you sound so ignorant knowing this country was founded on, and is still operated under systematic and forged White Supremacy?? This article was written in part because you all would read it and be ignorant....

For a publication that prides itself on not feeding negative stereotypes when it comes to reporting crime, the ajc seems mighty schizophrenic. The Buzz is a 21st century minstrel show on almost a daily basis.

@WhistleDick99@Don't Tread Please explain to me how that affects your life? Go back in your trailer and get ready to see our future President Hillary Rodham Clinton get Drumpf all rile up and off track tonight. Drumpf is an idiot and I can't wait to see what the Orange Orangutan does tonight.

@tinala@WhistleDick99@Don't Tread As someone who pays a ton in net state and federal taxes if means people like me are going to be paying for food, shelter, medicine and daycare for the next couple of decades on these rugrats and chances are very high most of the 11 will have offspring that we'll end up paying for as well.
